Last night, I watched two 39 year old boxers on the canvas.  One won simply because his competition let him, the other didn't despite the gruelling effort he made against an opponent 15 years younger.

What does this tell us?  It tells us, that politics and out of the ring strategy matters as much, if not more than what happens in the ring in professional boxing.

How to Box is going physical. I'm starting the first offline How to Box boxing club where I currently live, thanks to my profession and the facilities I have available. Starting this coming week, 14 members are currently signed up to start classes. Unlike traditional boxing gyms, a How to Box gym will follow an actual curriculum of sorts. I plan on posting the class outlines. If you're thinking of starting a boxing club or gym (maybe to take advantage of the How to Box fight club), then stay tuned. You can follow my progress, see what works and what doesn't and maybe open a successful How to Box club in your location.

Do you have a website, facebook group, facebook account, mybloglog, myspace page, etc..? Do you even just have friends?

Don't you think those friends should learn how to box or maybe they could use an extra intense workout that is incredibly effective, challenging, fun, and guarantees results? You'll be doing them a favour telling them about How to Box.

How would you like to get paid for everyone one of those friends that decides to use the How to Box 12 Week Program?

As of today at 1630hrs, you can sign up for the How to Box boxing affiliate program and I'll pay you approx $16-$26 for each and every person that signs up for the program, AND I'll pay you an additional $4-$6.50 for every person that signs up that is referred by someone you previously referred to the program. If that doesn't make sense, just read on, it will in a minute.

Part of the appeal of boxing is that it is an individual sport. Ultimately, you excel or not based solely on your own merit - if you suck you lose, if you don't you win. It all comes down to the individual and there is no blaming one's teammates or circumstances for your loss. It is pretty obvious when you hit the canvas that things haven't gone so well for you. Only you can prevent that in the end.

That said, the champion boxer is by no means alone in his or her quest for glory. Let's take a look at who else is involved:

I don't know about you, but I for one, am sick and tired of hearing about the obesity epidemic - if people want to get fat, then let them get fat, unhealthy and die. It's natural selection at its best. Those of us that give a damn about ourselves shouldn't have to put up with all the whining and complaining and increased taxes and premiums these selfish SOBs are going to cause us when they start having their McDonald's induced heart attacks and insurance covered stomach stapling procedures.

So, I walked into a boxing gym. It was exactly as I had imagined - dim lighting, ring in the middle, assorted bags hanging from exposed rafters, smelling of sweat and leather. Bewildered, nervous, and fighting feelings to flee, I looked for the manager while trying to avoid eye contact with the monsters in there smashing their fists against whatever they could.

I was thinking the whole time "Don't look them directly in the eye", as if the other boxers were rabid dogs waiting to tear me apart. I could almost feel them looking at me and saying to one another "more fresh meat."

Will learning to box improve your performance at Wii boxing?

In a nutshell - maybe YES.

As if the thrill of boxing wasn't enough to convince you to take up the sport, now you have the Nintendo Wii to give you that little extra push. (if you can find one) Ever since the Wii showed up and I started seeing Chinese people attempting to box on Youtube, I've been curious as to whether someone with boxing skill would do better than someone with no boxing skill at Wii boxing. You can even buy Wii boxing gloves to make it that much more realistic.

I don't often get off topic and try to keep this boxing site completly boxing oriented, but from time to time you are going to have to put up with an exception - these are my ramblings. Tonight is one of those nights, and despite this posts off topic remarks, it does have relevance to most of your lives - perhaps even a bit of motivation, so bear with me. It's almost midnight and I'm stuck in a hotel half way across the country from where I live. My flight was cancelled due to a huge snowstorm where my plane was supposed to land.
